    What are the primary differences with the software deployment strategy between the Armada 6500 and other Armada portables? Unlike other Armada portable products that have all of the software preinstalled, the Armada 6500 only has the operating system, hardware enabling drivers and Internet Explorer 4.01 preinstalled.
